29.35.060 Shoreline special use permits.
(1) Uses specifically classified or set forth in this SMP as conditional uses shall be subject to review and condition by the Shoreline Administrator and Ecology. Applications for a shoreline special use permit shall be processed pursuant to Chapter 25.200 PMC.
(2) Other uses, which are not classified or listed or set forth in this SMP, may be authorized as conditional uses; provided, the applicant can demonstrate consistency with the requirements of this Section and the requirements for conditional uses contained in this SMP.
(3) Uses that are specifically prohibited by this SMP may not be authorized as a conditional use.
(4) Review Criteria for Shoreline Special Use Permit. Uses that are classified or set forth in the applicable SMP as conditional uses may be authorized provided that the applicant demonstrates all of the following:
(a) That the proposed use is consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020 and the SMP;
(b) That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public use of public shorelines;
(c) That the proposed use of the site and design of the project are compatible with other authorized uses within the area and with uses planned for the area under the Comprehensive Plan and SMP;
(d) That the proposed use will cause no significant adverse effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to be located; and
(e) That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect.
(5) In the granting of all shoreline special use permits, consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of additional requests for like actions in the area. For example, if shoreline special use permits were granted for other developments in the area where similar circumstances exist, the total of the conditional uses shall also remain consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58.020 and shall not produce substantial adverse effects to the shoreline environment.
(6) In authorizing a conditional use, special conditions may be attached to the permit by the City or Ecology to prevent undesirable effects of the proposed use and/or to ensure consistency of the project with the SMA and this SMP.
(7) Nothing shall interfere with the City’s ability to require compliance with all other applicable plans and laws. [Ord. 4314 § 2, 2016; Code 1970 § 29.01.750.]
